Plot

Set in 1970s and 80s Riyadh, this landmark Saudi drama follows the Al-Tayan family navigating sweeping societal change — from the oil boom and the rise of religious conservatism, to the 1979 Grand Mosque seizure and the Gulf War. What begins with a foundling child at the mosque ripples outward into a rich multigenerational portrait of a country transforming before its people's eyes.
